Hapag-Lloyd Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Palma de Mallorca

   Depart 20:00

   Spain

   

   Palma de Mallorca announces itself with one of the most spectacular Gothic cathedrals in the world — La Seu, its honey-coloured sandstone buttresses rising directly from the bay, its interior modified by Antoni Gaudí and illuminated by the world's largest Gothic rose window. The old town behind it is a quarter of Arab baths, Renaissance palaces converted into boutique hotels, and the Passeig del Born — a plane-tree-shaded promenade where Balearic life conducts itself with unhurried grace. The local ensaïmada pastry and fresh sobrasada sausage from the island's black pigs are essential breakfast rituals. Visit May, June, or September: warm, brilliant, and measurably calmer than the July–August peak.

2. Day 2

   Barcelona

   Arrive 13:00

   Spain

   

   Barcelona is the city where Roman history, Gothic grandeur, and Gaudí's delirious Modernisme collide in a Mediterranean coastal capital of astonishing energy and beauty. The Sagrada Família — still under construction after 140 years — continues its audacious ascent toward completion, while the Gothic Quarter's Roman-era foundations and the Passeig de Gràcia's extraordinary concentration of Modernisme masterpieces reward days of exploration. For a complete sensory experience, lose an afternoon in the covered labyrinth of La Boqueria market before descending to the waterfront for Catalan seafood at its finest. May through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather; the city connects directly to Paris by overnight train.

3. Day 3

4. Day 4

   Valencia

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Spain

   

   Valencia, Spain's luminous third city, dazzles with a creative energy anchored by two thousand years of layered civilization — Roman foundations, Moorish irrigation gardens, a Gothic cathedral housing what many believe to be the Holy Grail, and Santiago Calatrava's futuristic City of Arts and Sciences gleaming beside a park-filled riverbed. The city invented paella over an open fire of orange-wood in the surrounding huerta, and the Las Fallas festival each March — when neighborhoods compete to erect and then ceremonially burn towering satirical sculptures — is one of Europe's most spectacular celebrations. Valencia's Mediterranean climate makes it exceptional year-round.

5. Day 5

   At Sea

   

6. Day 6

   Gibraltar

   Arrive 07:00Depart 15:00

   Gibraltar

   

   Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory perched at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic beneath an iconic limestone monolith steeped in over a millennium of contested history. No visit is complete without ascending the Rock to encounter the Barbary macaques and the panoramic views stretching to North Africa, followed by a plate of calentita — the territory's beloved Genoese-heritage chickpea bake — at a Main Street bakery. The mild Mediterranean climate makes Gibraltar a rewarding port call year-round, though spring and early autumn offer the clearest skies for spotting whales and dolphins in the Strait.

7. Day 7

   Lisbon

   Arrive 16:00

   Portugal

   

   Lisbon, Portugal's enchanting capital, stands out for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Must-try experiences include savoring local dishes like bacalhau à brás and pastéis de nata at Mercado da Ribeira. The best time to visit is during the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and the city is alive with festivals and events.

9. Day 9

   Portimao

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   Portugal

   

   Portimão is the Algarve's most storied port city, where Phoenician trading heritage meets golden-cliff beaches and Portugal's finest grilled sardine tradition along the Arade River. Visitors should not miss the charcoal-grilled sardines at the riverside churrasqueiras and the dramatic sandstone formations of Praia da Rocha. The port is at its luminous best from May through October, when long Atlantic days bathe the coastline in honeyed light and the August Sardine Festival electrifies the waterfront.

10. Day 10

    Cadiz

    Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00

    Spain

    

    Cádiz, founded by Phoenician traders around 1100 BC and a strong contender for the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, juts into the Atlantic on a narrow peninsula where honey-colored ramparts frame improbable views of open ocean and the sun sets directly into the sea. The old quarter is an intoxicating labyrinth of baroque churches, hidden plazas, and carnival spirit — Cádiz's annual February carnival is the wildest and most satirically sharp in Spain — while the tapas culture here, centered on fresh Atlantic seafood cooked with Andalusian simplicity, represents Spanish cuisine at its most elemental and joyful. Visit February for carnival or spring for gentle Atlantic breezes. Seville is ninety minutes inland by bus or rail.

11. Day 11

    Malaga

    Arrive 06:00

    Spain

    

    Málaga distils three thousand years of Mediterranean civilisation into one of Andalusia's most compelling port cities, where the Moorish Alcazaba fortress surveys a modern waterfront of elegant promenades and sun-drenched café terraces. Do not leave without visiting the Museo Picasso — the artist was born here in 1881 — and ascending to the ruined Castillo de Gibralfaro for panoramic views stretching to the Rif Mountains of Morocco on clear days. Malagueta anchovies fried in olive oil and the sweet Pedro Ximénez-laced dessert wine are the city's defining pleasures. The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer perfect Mediterranean warmth.
